A second video showed another captured terrorist also confessing he received orders via the Telegram messaging service.

 After spilling the liquid they had brought with them, they set fire to the curtain and chairs with incendiary devices. When the fire flared up, rising to the very top and engulfing part of the roof, they, according to preliminary data, left the scene of the massacre. An explosion was heard. About 100 people were trapped inside, who were rescued by the fire department. The roof of the building collapsed. Special Forces of the [[FSB]] entered the building.

 The second mistake was that the GUR didn’t tell their [[proxy|proxies]] to flee to a safe house right after the attack to meet a contact that’ll then help them reach the border later on but who’d actually kill them once they meet in order to cover everything up. This led to the terrorists racing towards the Ukrainian border, thus showing everyone that they’d find sanctuary there, which made Russia’s claim of Ukrainian involvement believable for skeptical [[Western civilization|Westerners]].
-And third, the last mistake was that the GUR used an outdated news template to claim credit for the attack on behalf of ISIS-K, who they correctly predicted would opportunistically run with it for clout. By doing so, however, they signaled that the group itself didn’t play a role in organizing what happened otherwise their more modern template would have been used instead. Taken together, these three sloppy mistakes discredited the [[Mainstream Media]]'s narrative and drew attention to the GUR instead.
